Stargazing: which types it suits

A stargazing date starts by getting away from the city lights. Head to a mountain, a beach or open countryside, wait for your eyes to adjust, and stars you can't see from Seoul start appearing one by one. There are also public observatories where anyone can look through a telescope, like Byeolmaro Observatory in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, which make a good first step.

It suits couples who want deep conversation somewhere quiet and those who treasure romantic moments. Lying back and looking up, the conversation drifts toward big, faraway things. Stargazing depends heavily on the weather and the moon, though, so aim for a clear night around the new moon or when the moon rises late. Getting those conditions right together makes it even more special.
